Olympic Peninsula Resource Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Outreach for new RAC Replacement members.

SUMMARY: Interested citizens are invited to serve on the Olympic 
Peninsula Resource Advisory Committee (RAC). The RAC will be 
responsible for reviewing and recommending land management projects to 
be funded under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-
Determination Act, should the act be reauthorized this year.
    RAC members represent a wide range of interests. The committee 
consists of 15 members and each member is assigned to one of three 
categories. A replacement member is also assigned to each category. The 
replacement member becomes a full time member when and if an assigned 
member can not complete his or her four-year term. The Olympic 
Peninsula RAC has vacancies for replacement members in Categories A, B, 
and C.
     Category A represents organized labor, developed outdoor 
recreation, off-highway vehicle use, commercial recreation activities, 
energy development interests, the commercial timber industry, and 
Federal grazing or other land use permits.
     Category B represents nationally recognized environmental 
organizations, regionally or locally recognized environmental 
organizations, dispersed recreational activities, archaeological and 
historical interests.
     Category C represents state, county, or local elected 
offices, American Indian tribes, school officials or teachers, and the 
affected public-at-large.
    A four-year term would begin upon appointment by the Secretary of 
Agriculture. Committee members serve without compensation, but may be 
reimbursed for travel expenses. Members must be Washington residents, 
preferably living in one of the Olympic Peninsula counties. Meetings 
are held at least once and up to four times per year within Thurston, 
Mason, Jefferson, Clallam, or Grays Harbor Counties.
